Atlantic Container Line (ACL) and Cunard marked the 40th anniversary this week of the sinking of the ro-ro Atlantic Conveyor during the Falklands conflict.
Just before sunset on 25 May 1982, the Liverpool-registered vessel, which had been requisitioned by the UK government, was struck amidships by an Argentinian Exocet missile and a fierce fire broke out.
The evacuation of the vessel took about 15 minutes.
